So I'm a Spider, So What? Part 2

Elf Village 1

Elf Village ①

A cave that opened quietly in the heart of the mountain of the Sariera country.

Sensei activates the Transfer magic circle in the hidden room.

「This Transfer magic circle connects to the Elf Village. Are you ready?」

I nod to Sensei's question.

Sensei who confirmed it, activates the Transfer magic circle.

My view is distorted.

That's only an instant, and when the distortion returned, I caught sight of a different scenery from a while ago.

From a small cave into a building somewhere.

It's a circular building that looks like a hall, and there are many Transfer magic circles on the floor.

However, the building doesn't matter now.

It was the innumerable point of swords that greet us who transferred.

We were surrounded by the Elf soldiers.

「Firimes, I think that it's a violation to bring outsiders」

Among the Elf soldiers, the man who seems to be the captain talks.

The language used is not the Human language.

It's the Elf language.

I'm glad that I learned the Elf language in the academy.

「They are Cooperators. I should have told the circumstances with Distant Communication, isn't it?」

「We should have also said it. That, although we understand your circumstances, we can't invite the Humans into the village」

「Now is not the time to be particular about the Humans. Please pull your swords」

「Never.If you leave at once, we will spare your lives. Turn back right now with the transfer circle」

「This won't end. Please call Potimas」

An intense atmosphere flows.

I calm Katia who almost became attack mode instinctively by a gesture.

I stand quietly in front of Anna who seems to tremble, and I protect her from the point of the swords and the eyes of the Elves.

「That's enough」

A man's voice sounded.

Although it has already many years ago, I have met this man once.

Potimas Hyphenath.

It was the man who was the patriarch of the Elves.

「I'm sorry for the violent welcome. All the Elves, let's accept the Hero and his comrades」

「Is it fine?」

「I don't mind. If they manage to break through the barrier by any chance, it's better to have more forces」

A disturbing sign mixes in Potimas's words.

Somehow, I can't have a good impression of this man.

Although there's also the fact that he appraised me suddenly in the first meeting, he has the eyes that seem to look down on anyone other than himself.

「Come. Although it's small, let's give a welcome banquet」

The Elf soldiers put the swords away.
